Artist History Tired of corrupt politicians, unconstitutional taxation, behind the scene corporate payoffs and society’s overall apathetic view of the American system of living, the Social Critics Against Bullshit Systems (The Scabs) reared their ugly heads for the first time in 1991. During the mid-90's the band was almost completely disbanded due to member changes and personal conflicts. In 1999 the band reemerged stronger then ever with a solid dedicated crew that pushed the band to where it is today. Playing with groups such as The Dead Kennedys, The Crowd, The Dickies, D.I., Dee Dee Ramone, Marky Ramone the Social Critics Against Bullshit Systems continue to point the finger (usually the middle one) at controversial social figures and situations with their punk rock point of view. The hard-core grinds and rhythms provided by creator and rhythm Systemsguitarist Andy Nelson and original front man Johnny Armstrong, bassist David Almaraz, lead guitarist Brian Harding and drummer Oscar Higuera, tear through your ears like the Southern California old school used to. Punk Rock through and through. The bands Goal, to continue to break down the facade built by the bullshit systems and carry on the tradition for the next generation.

Group Members Andy Nelson, Johnny Didatz, David Almaraz, Brain Wash, Oscar Higuera

Press Reviews Dead Kennedys, The Crowd, The SCABS @ The Galaxy, Santa Ana, CA November 8, 2001 Review By: Scott Harding The next band up to rock the stage was The Scabs. The Scabs were a lot like there name sake, crusty, pesky, but they have an itch you just can’t scratch. They have an 80’s hardcore punk sound on a quarter ounce of crank. Blistering guitar and a good bass sound with a decent amount of stage presence from the singer who paces so much it makes me nervous. The crowd was thin but it was early yet, but the crowd was starting to pack in waiting for the Old School antics of the Crowd. More on www.deadontheweb.com
